I AM CURRENTLY IN PERTH.

Hi, it's wonderful to be here to connect with people around the world. I love traveling and connecting with many people to share and to listen to stories from others. I have using this app since 2013 either to host, to meet, or to find accommodation while traveling.

My name is Firdaus - 27-year-old boy. I was born in Indonesia, where the country has almost 18,000 islands. Wonderful, isn't it?

I graduated from the Marketing program and I have a big interest in IT (Information Technology). Currently, I work as an IT consultant. I LOVE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE. I remember when I was in the USA studying, I almost went to the gym every day trying the sauna and steam room to meet new people and listen to their stories. During my time in the USA, I have traveled to 16 states and 25 cities.

If you meet me, you will laugh during our talks. I like funny things. I have had many culture shock experiences either in romances, travels, food or with friends. Every time I face differences, I love it because it can teach me new things. How diverse we are!

In addition, I can teach you simple basic IT things such as how to edit your image or video, create your website in only 10 minutes, and find a cheap flight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I'm on Couchsurfing? Hmmm...

I use this to find my wife, of course not, I am joking lol. Honestly. I use this app because I want to improve my English. Because my English has improved A LOT, finally I can study in the USA (2021-2022).

My primary goal here is to share and listen to our stories with each other. in other words, culture exchanges. Plus, this app has helped us to find good things to do when visiting a new city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was elected as the first outstanding student at my university. It happened because my mom always prays for me every day LOL. I think I am not smart enough. In addition, I like volunteering. In March 2022, I volunteered in a stadium (Greenbay Lambeau Stadium) during the winter. Imagine that we have to sell seat helper afternoon when the temperature was around (10F or -12C).

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe, "take and give". What I have learned in my whole live should be shared to people.

Good hospitality. Plus, if I do have time, I can accompany you to visit best corners in my city.
